Information wanted for blood sugar levels
Hello I am writing this for my husband who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about a year ago. He is 80 and was prescribed Metformin as he did not want to drastically change his diet. The first medication did not suit him so they changed it to slow release and that was better. However over the past

Cycle 2 on metformin
Just wanted to share my progress on metformin. Once again it appears I might ovulate this cycle. I’m trying not to have any expectations this time and I have been less stressed out this cycle, probably because I haven’t been obsessing too much over tracking all my symptoms and temperatures. Hope everyone

Pain near tail bone while getting up from sofa
I am 76+. During April 2019, I had a fall on road while walking fast. I fell on buttocks but left leg took impact. Hairline crack 6" above ankle needed plaster for six weeks. Leg normalized in six weeks and my walk is now normal but at less walking speed. Soon I noticed that I have pain in Tail Bone

It's never too late
Smoking was killing me, and on top of that I was paying a fortune to have a slow suicide, well thank God I was able to stop 12 years ago. Since then my life changed so much, I did put extra weight on but more about that later. Before I stopped smoking I was smoking 180 cigarettes a week, which I couldn't

Unstable Diabetes, Type II
I really understand your frustration. I am 76 and managed Diabetes Type II for over 40 years. Now is so much more complicated and unstable. I added Januvia, to Metformin and now Insulin daily and eat 100% sugar-free and healthy and still have trouble staying in a healthy range. Good luck to you!

Need tips on taking metformin
Hi everyone. I'm on metformin at 250mg twice a day. The doc plans to increase it at my next appointment. My problem is the GI side effects. The gas I can handle but not the diarrhea. I've tried taking it before meals, after meals and during meals. I still get hit and barely make it to the bathroom.

Metformin update
Well, I wasn’t able to confirm ovulation my last cycle although I did get lots of high fertility results on the clear blue opk... and i got my period yesterday. Does make you feel crappy but obviously it’s not going to be easy guess I will just keep trying. I just purchased some ovulation sticks much

Metformin weight loss/doctors
Hi, I went to a fertility specialist. He diagnosed me with pcos. He was very knowledgeable on the subject, I felt like a lot made sense. He put me on Metformin (at the time, to conceive) but he said a lot about insulin levels etc and the Metformin would level it out. With exercise and healthy eating
